Satty

Out with Alex today, walking around downtown, we saw just about every model Mercury has sold in the last decade, including the Mystique and FWD Cougar. Seriously, whens the last time anyone saw one of those, I swear I haven't seen one in years.

Or they're all sterile, that would be poetic justice, would it not?

I wrote a paper a couple of years ago adapting ideas from A Modest Proposal to modern times. These people would have fit right into my scheme, just like Montana into the West Coast Offense. Edit: Just to clarify, my paper was a satire, just like the original. I do not condone the eating of babies.

Yep, thats me, with my little half-Mexican son, Cameroonian assistant and uber-W.A.S.P. best friend, totally racist. You on the other hand, with your repeated anti-Asian comments on this site, have never shown any predilection for racism. White trash can be any race, its a mindset and lifestyle, not a physical characteristic, and yes, part of that lifestyle is doing dumb $h! because you have a "cool" car like a 1986 Camaro with mismatched body panels and no exhaust.

Umm...the best selling car in the U.S. is the Toyota Camry, next is the Honda Accord or Toyota Corolla, so yeah, I'd say Americans are, as a whole, the same way. That said, Pontiac buyers aren't the average American, they're a niche and the G8 doesn't fit all of what that niche wants.

Dont know how I forgot this last night, but the aforementioned "forgotten" spot was an SLR McLaren alongside a Testarossa. Also saw a pair of 1964 Corvair 95s, one with a decent looking interior and a bit of rust on the outside (window van), but mostly there, just in need of some TLC, the other had a solid body, no chrome and a terrible interior(panel van). If I had the time, I would pick them both up and make one fine running van.

They're ugly and representative of the white trash culture and must be destroyed. Plus, the dudes a dick who drives way too fast in an area with a bunch of kids and no sidewalks, recipe for disaster.

Some people need to learn that sneaking in the back door isn't always a bad thing.

I did finally see an HHR panel on the road, I had seen a few on lots. I also saw something else rare that caught my attention, but I've completely forgotten what it was now.

Hehehe...guy in 3rd gen just got pulled over and arrested in front of my house. I hope they crush his car. And the Hummer H2 is my new choice for assholemobile, had one today tell me that I need to take off the parking brake because I was going 35 in a 30mph, heavily patrolled, residential area. Jerk.

Base Nitro, it made me want to vomit

Pontiac probably wont be around in 4 years anyways.

The 2.7 and 4.6 get more press because more of them have been sold, therefore more of them have turned into $h!piles that leave people screwed.

Salesmen say a lot of things. A Suzuki salesman (Suzuki-Mitsubishi-VW-Porsche dealership) assured me that he could get me an Aerio hatch with AWD and a manual, a combination that isn't offered.

As long as the Super looks less like a 2003 Mercury Sable than the regular Lucerne, I'll be ok.

The dorkiness of a Shadow magnified by the fact that the driver likely thinks they're cool for having a convertible.

The Caliber keeps looking more and more dorky. The Focus is pretty dorky in wagon form. I dont feel like thinking of 8 more. Ok, 1 more, Suzuki X90

I really dislike the Solstice with the spoiler (saw one with, two without at a dealership today, haven't seen a Sky with spoiler) because it looks like a jelly bean with an odd protrusion.

XLR (complete with horribly misaligned exhaust tips) and a Delorean.

This is more his budget

I dont think I've ever driven more than a few miles without the radio on, my car sounds like a weed-eater, whats the point? Anyways, I've been out kayaking a few times and the Frenzy has been very competent on the lake, the foolproof stability making up for the fact that I have to paddle like a madman to get it to keep going. Only real downside is that the fishing access I use smells like, well, fish. And no, I cannot get away from technology, in addition to my waterproof iPod case, I have a SealLine See Bag that I keep my cell phone in, and I do indeed check voicemails and send texts from themiddle of the lake. Nature is great, but gloating about spending a Friday afternoon drifting about while all of my friends have other obligations is even better.

Thanks, I spent my day half-assed working, returning text messages wishing me a happy birthday (I <3 txt) and kayaking. Unfortunately I missed a call from my dear old mum, who is in England. I'll give her a call tomorrow.

Flex's ADHD afflicted little brother.

Rear visibility from a regular Cooper isn't great anyways, so I dont think a split in the middle will make it too much worse. This is the Mini I've been waiting for, more room and easier access to the back seat.

I've seen the cocoa on an Outlook and it looked great, although white diamond tri-coat is gorgeous.
